117. Iain Harris - Food Indaba, Cape Town

The FOOD INDABA is an annual programme of talks and events that focus on the local food system. Running from 7-20 July this year, it brings together a wide range of speakers involved in shaping the food system, providing an opportunity for food growers, academics, activists, writers, nutritionists, policy makers, food lovers and anyone interested in sustainable approaches, to engage in key issues intimately connected to the food we eat, and the future of food. The conference component of the Indaba on July 18 explores the potential impacts and opportunities of AI (artificial intelligence) on African food systems. Their exciting, experiential series including guided walks and 'tea with a farmer'  kicks off on July 7. There's also a science component for kids which explores food through the lens of science.
